Have you ever desk-slept? Share your tips below! (Any positive reinforcement on our Last Call appearance would be “awsome” too.)
Church: I learned how to sleep with my eyes open. (I stopped going to church many a year ago when I was but a wee lad.
Highschool: I relearned how to sleep with my eyes open. Also, depending on the class, (whether the teacher cared, whether I cared, whether I ever did anything and used my genius brain to fling by two weeks of assignments in a half hour, [Our poor poor scholastics have just died....] or whether I was in the park smoking that class depended on the sleep.) I would sleep in various ways.
1: Math – Teacher didn’t speak English. I went to sleep, if he woke me I’d say “What’s up?” He’d say something in Spanish, I’d say either Yes or No depending on if he was sounding like he was asking a question, and depending on how the question sounded. I would have gotten in trouble, but none of the Campo’s spoke spanish. I mean, he knew some English words, apparently enough to be allowed to work without a green card (This is not a racist remark, but a serious one) in California, but he always intermingled 99% spanish anytime he spoke any English.
So I slept.
English (The crappy one)
I’d memorize a half a page of a college level book word for word, then try to memorize the other half. If I couldn’t, then I’d just remember what it was basically talking about. I’d sit up straight, put my neck back (looking at the ceiling) and flop the book over my eyes. When the teacher came by and asked if I was sleeping (I’ma light sleeper, so if they walk by I wake up, but I don’t move because I want to go back to sleep.) I’d say “No, I’m reading.” She’d say, “Okay then, why don’t you read aloud?” And then I’d recite the half page, and if she didn’t stop me by then I’d just wing it for the next big and try to remember exactly how it went. If there were quotes as if a person said something I’d usually use a variety of goofy accents, such as Indian, English, Irish, German, Russian, all of which I used to be able to do well, and now all I can do since I haven’t done em for so long is English, Indian, and a bit Irish. (If I try real hard, Russian) if she ever checked to confirm I’d just tell her I’m near sighted. (as you can imagine, I wasn’t so much the class clown, as much as the class a**)
English that I liked because it wasn’t stupid: I didn’t sleep.
Extended Summer School: 2 hours 45 minutes after school. I’ma fast typer, I did 10 assignments a day when one was barely expected. I didn’t sleep mostly, I’d just watch Hogan’s Heroes, or ask to use the restroom and go smoke. It was a relatively large campus, and most of the bathrooms close at that hour, so I could just say I was walking far and wide to find a bathroom… Usually I just said I went out smoking. Heck, I was one of two people who ever did anything in that class, (Just so I can watch Hogan’s Heroes because they were the only computers built after the Revolutionary War in the whole school.) so he never punished me. But for his sake, or to be nice, I never said it too loudly so no one else heard it and knew I was being an a** and getting away with it.
Science: I’d just talk with the teacher. Everyone else was retarded and he was one of the few teachers that ever taught me anything… Too bad none of it was a part of any lesson. Basically he was one of the few who had a brain in the entire school.
Computer Lit: Same teacher as science, but at that point all we’d talk about is pipes and pipe tobacco, which reminds me after all this time and years I have yet to try the flavor he swears by… Latakia? Latekia? Something like that.
Other classes aren’t worth mentioning. One history class I liked because the teacher actually taught us what he thought we needed to know, not what the system told him to. And the other history class I taught the teacher, corrected the various falsities in the books, and was told I was wrong everytime, and then I’d prove I was right. I was the only one who ever raised my hand and the class hated me for it. I don’t understand why, over the course of that year they didn’t need to pay attention to many hours of class and work because I’d correct the teacher so much, which they caught on to near the end. But by then they had all made it on the list of people who annoy me, and when I became their God I disowned them as followers >_< (I normally don't have such an ego, but thinking back brings the attitude back! Lol)
Anyways, I'd go on more, and more grammatically correct, but it's 0638 and I'm dead tired and, perfecting the ability to type without my eyes open due to Extended Summer School, have already started to drifffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

WEIGHT LOSs? | Core Green Answers
LOVED your spot on Carson Daly! Anytime we can get a candid view of who and what Rhett&Link are all about it is AWSOME…that’s right, the “E”less kind.
During silent reading in high school, I fell asleep while reading. Maybe ten minutes later I woke myself up by my own loud fart. I awoke startled and to the stares of my fellow diligent silent readers. My body fell flush as I was embarrassed.
great job guys….maybe it’s time to have some help? but probably not.
I can’t desk sleep, my desk faces out into the patient waiting room, and is also directly across from our giant glass door, but like allysonlassiter said, I do put of my concerned work face while checking facebook. It keeps people from talking to me.
I’m a night time security guard nuff said
Nice job. Unfortunately, I can’t completely fall asleep when i am at the store front, but i have tried the squinty, wrinkled forehead to look like im working with a clipboard as allysonlaister mentioned. Very effective.
I snore. I’m gonna get caught. Thanks Rhett and Link, for making it possible to finally seek out that new job I’ve always wanted!
Oh, btw, I did LOVE your bit on the Carson Daly show!!! You guys always make me smile!!
I sadly had to get to bed and so did not watch the show live.
But I would have, had it been on a weekend! 
Haha, I’ve desk slept SOOO many times! At home, school and work! At work, I kinda face into a corner and the my computer is in that corner, so I can wedge myself against the desk, upright, and fold my arms around each other, so one is on the mouse (or Wacom tablet, because I have that and not a mouse). And I can sleep easily enough and also wake easily enough, so if someone comes into my cubicle, I’ll wake up fast.
But I’m one of those people who are blessed/cursed with the ability to fall asleep anywhere.
Yes – they is awesome!
Great job guys- were proud of you!
Sadly yes… I have desk slept. I work in a library and long shifts are BRUTAL when you don’t get enough sleep! However, if in some strange parallel universe you get to meet my supervisor, don’t tell her that. I just got a raise ^_^
I stayed up and watched your bit with Carson Daly. It was mythically amazing and I greatly applaud you for it!
if you’re not trying to hide it, you can bring your knees up and hug your legs to you. it’s super comfy. and if you do it in public, people just assume you’re crying and will leave you alone.
That was great. You guys have such a great dynamic together… and I have to say, the TDM Auto ad was the best one in my opinion. When it was uploaded I watched it about a dozen times because each time I felt like I just still hadnt got my head around how good it was! really happy for you both!
even though i am still in school i have desk slept many times, in the boring but essential classes like science, math, english…..but i have never gotten caught…could that possibly be a bad thing??
I stayed up to watch AND recorded it in case I fell asleep (but not at my desk.) The nice thing about living in WI is that we’re on Central time, so the show came on at 12:30. Not bad at all.
On more than one occasion, while up for a late night of editing, I’ve fallen asleep at my desk. I don’t mean leaned back in the chair…I’m talking full-on, face one the keyboard, drooling on the spacebar sleeping at the desk.
Way to go on Carson guys! There’s another notch on your TV.
I’m terrible at desk sleeping. I may need a full tutorial!
So that Martian commercial was NOT on the Carson Daly show that I watched early this morning… Interesting… Great Job as always!
i sleep at school (college) all the time. it’s great because most of my teachers don’t care. but i hate that feeling when i absolutely cannot keep my eyes open and i HAVE to stay awake.. that’s just the worst..
Lol awesome guys I couldn’t I didn’t watch it I’m not as dearly devoted as everyone else but I wish I was But awsome guys I love the desk sleeping tips =D
I graduated high school last year, and have not had time to find a dead end desk job yet.
In 10th grade, my biology teacher was showing a film . . . and left the room, with all the lights off!
The floor was tile, and he had a 1/2 inch by 4 foot solid metal rod.
About half the class was sleeping; he dropped that rod; everyone woke up.
In math (7th and last hour of the day) I figured out that if you have work in front of you, and a pencil in your hand; all you have to do is put your forehead on your hand like you are concentrating on the work. NOTE: this only works if you are NOT next to the teachers desk.
that was great. i’m proud of you two
hahahha…..Rhett you just made me laugh so hard with your fake sleeping….I’m sitting here just laughing out loud…..”Spreadsheets…Mention spreadsheets”….haha
I only have desk slept if sleeping with your head on a school book at school counts…
Congrats, guys. That was awsome.
I am desk sleeping right now…
Nice seeing ya on Carson Daly.
Is Jay Leno next????
I blame you two for why I was so tired today during class. I was beastly enough to stay up until almost 2:00 AM to watch you on Last Call. Yep, I’m a committed mythical beast. ;]
Haha, but anyway, you were awesome!
I can’t really get away with sleeping at work, as I sit facing anyone who walks by. But more often than not, I put a fake ‘concentrated working face’ on while i’m watching youtube videos or reading articles online, while I click around in random places on the desktop. That usually works.
Your weirdness is so inspiring.
At one job I had, I would freely put my head back and close my eyes. When my boss walked in and saw me, I would pop up and declare, “I was not sleeping. I was simply checking for polyps under my eyelids. Never can be too careful ’bout cancer of the eyelid.”
